Description

Indulge in this cheesy baked pasta. Rich emmental and white wine elevate this classic comfort food.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 7 oz (200 g) Emmental cheese
  • 7 oz (200 g) short pasta
  • 2 tbsp double cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C).
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
  3. Cook onion in a little oil over medium-low heat until soft but not browned.
  4. Add wine and simmer until reduced for a few minutes.
  5. Cook pasta until almost tender (al dente).
  6. Drain pasta well and return it to the pot.
  7. Stir in the onion mixture, 2/3 of the cheese, and the cream.
  8. Divide the pasta mixture between two oven-proof dishes.
  9. Top with the remaining cheese.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
  • To prevent a gummy texture, ensure the pasta is cooked al dente before adding the cheese sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
